My Review: I love the Candle Classic Bible because it takes you on a journey from the Old Testament starting with the story of Creation to the story of the Apostles in the New Testament. 365 stories are short and easy to read and the kids will find it great for daily devotions and bedtime story.

The stories are divided into easy to read section and give scripture references. For example, the story about The World is God’s Creation can be found in Genesis chapter 1 and 2, but it is summarized and made easy for children to understand.

The illustrations are very clear and helps bring the story to life. This will make a wonderful gift for Christmas and an addition to your library at home or at school.

About

My name is Ella Johnson. I started Mymcbooks to promote reading. As a former teacher, I know that making basic education fundamentals interesting to children can be challenging. Education can be fun, exciting and captivating for children with the right learning tools. So my goal is to “make learning interesting and fun” for the children while they learn, by introducing them to fun books with colorful and captivating illustrations.

In 2009, I start the giveaway program giving away free school supplies at random to 2 winners each year. I also started a monthly free giveaways for books and gifts.

August 2010, I extended the free school supplies from 2 to 5 winners at random on my blog and also give away 20 bags full of school supplies to familes in need at Chick-fil-A in Brandon, Florida during their family nights. And in 2012, I beat my that number and gave away a lot of school supplies to needy families. Hopefully, I can continue to do this each year.

In 2011, I started writing reviews on children’s books then giving these books away free on Mymcbooks Blog. I increase the number of books we giveaway free to help support parent. My goal is to give away as many as I can each year. This is also a great way to introduce parents to new books.
